SPECS:
OS: WinXP/Vista Dual Boot
Proc: E6400 - Jan 07
Mobo: P5B-VM
Memory: 2 GB
GFX: 8800GTS 320MB
Yesterday my computer was freezing up at POST while it was detecting/configuring USB stuff. I reset the CMOS and disabled the USB stuff and got it to boot correctly and kept it at default settings. However, now it freezes up every so often on the XP booting screen. It also stalls out in games(freeze, choppy sound, weird colored but non-random pixels) and requries a hard boot to fix.
It seems to be an issue with the MB since it started with the USB controller and this hypothesis seems to be sound since ASUS update isn't detecting the mobo(gives me some unintellegible error to click out of). CPU-Z however has no problem detecting it.
The problem is that I want to try and update the bios to see if that would help. However, the only method I have now is to flash via the BIOS. However, while I haven't experienced it since making it boot right, it did freeze up on the bios a few times or atleast lose the keyboard connection.
Any advice?
